White Tea For Me

You Are White Tea

You are a gentle person who tends to prefer quiet and contemplation over excitement and action.

You have always naturally been lower energy, and you even have slowed down more as you have matured. You like to savor.


You look for quality in all aspects of your life. You intuitively understand people and appreciate authentic relationships.


Like white tea, you are subtle and unveil yourself slowly. You have a depth that others take time to discover.




I can't recall ever having white tea; I've tried quite a few other kinds; Earl Grey, English Breakfast, Chai, Green and others and all sorts of herbal teas (properly called Tisanes) but never White. After seeing this quiz yesterday, I put some in my Amazon shopping cart (only six bucks and one of the highest rated) and will complete the purchase when I have enough in total to qualify for free shipping. I probably should sign up for Amazon Prime, but I'm usually in no hurry to receive my items.

As I've mentioned before, sometimes these quizzes are so far off from what and who I am they're absurd, but this one is pretty spot-on for me, esp. the second paragraph.

I am white tea also. Sometimes at Publix they have tea's on sale and I'll stock up. BOGO. People tell Me I'd save so much by going to Wallmart. But its a long bus ride, Publix is nice, friendly, if I need a cab they call Me one and send some one to wait with Me.

I love tea, but don't drink it as much as I do coffee. I usually just buy the floor sweepings they sell f/ a buck/box at the dollar stores b/c there's not much of a selection at the grocery store and I don't get out to WalMart very often. The trouble w/ buying tea around here is that most of the best kinds aren't best sellers; I'm sure the Liptons is fresh, but most of the rest aren't. I've been thinking of buying tea in bulk through Amazon.

That's cool about Publix, guess there's not one within five hundred miles of here.

Iced tea is the most popular here and the rest of south and southwest, but most of the time it's "sweet tea" (or "sweetea" as said in a Texas accent) and it's just TOO sweet. I think it's b/c most people don't realize sugar doesn't dissolve very well in cold water and add too much again after tasting. I have a sister who would put the sugar in while the tea was hot, but even then, it was sickeningly sweet, something that might be good AFTER the meal, but out and out nasty to drink during it. It also made me feel bad, although I didn't realize it was due to having diabetes.

Used to love sun tea, but I've since read that can be dangerous, with bacteria growing in it after being left out in the sun f/ several hours. I love the taste of freshly brewed tea, either hot or cold. I like the cold plain, but I put a bit of Splenda in hot. I never did like milk w/ my tea, but elle preferred it that way.
